Bill’s lunch was ready

Y’all! This place was so good. It had a nice local feel to it, even though it is right by the convention center. It’s a typical New Orleanian place, on a corner with the door on a diagonal, narrow and dark, and offering delicious traditional stuff. Like fried oyster po boys.

The second time I went there* I ate at the bar. The cook came up, put that bag down and told Melinda-the-bartender** (and Melinda-the-photographer overheard), “Bill’s lunch is ready.” Sure enough, a couple of minutes later, Bill walked in to claim it. The other Melinda seemed happy to see him, like he’d been there even more often than I had.

*I usually don’t repeat restaurants when I am on a trip.
**Yes, another Melinda. That doesn’t happen very often.
